Go on – dunk a biscuit in your cuppa

In my opinion there’s nothing better than dunking a tasty biscuit in your brew.

That’s why I’m so thrilled to hear that it’s official – comfort eating actually works. Yippee!

Whether it’s a slice of cake and a cup of tea with my friends, or a good veg out while I’m playing online bingo, I just can’t get enough of comfort eating. I always wondered why it instantly lifted my mood.

An Australian study has shown that foods that are high in fat and sugar can help us to relax by changing the chemicals in the brain.

These calorific, sugar-laden treats work like an antidepressant and trigger a reaction that makes us feel less anxious.

Marvellous!

So next time you’re reaching for a biccy with your brew, don’t feel so guilty.

Maybe celebri-tea fan Victoria Beckham will take this advice on board? Maybe not.

Are you a dunker?

Keep dunking tea lovers,
